# Platforms
OpenSoul core is written in TypeScript. Node is the recommended runtime. Bun is not recommended for the Gateway (WhatsApp/Telegram bugs).
Companion apps exist for macOS (menu bar app), Windows (native WPF app), and mobile nodes (iOS/Android). Linux companion app is planned; the Gateway is fully supported on all platforms.
